Hello,
I'm currently developing a package to install VLC. My problem is that I don't know how to easily disable the Privacy/Network dialog box that appears for each user the first time they launch the application.
I've searched online and found the command "--no-qt-privacy-ask" which does indeed prevent this dialog box from appearing. The problem is that this command isn't run during installation (which would disable the dialog box for all users) but rather with the VLC executable (%PROGRAMFILES%/VideoLAN/VLC/vlc.exe --no-qt-privacy-ask).
There's also the "vlcrc" file located in each user's AppData folder, which would allow disabling this dialog box, but this would mean creating/copying the file for each user profile on each machine, which is impossible for a large network.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

Hello,
with the Wapt functions stored in the python setuphelpers.py you can modify the shortcut in the all programs menu to add the "--no-qt-privacy-ask" option.

.Hello,
thank you for your reply.
I agree that this will work, but the problem is that users never launch VLC using the desktop shortcut; they launch it by clicking on their audio or video files.
So how can I prevent this dialog box from appearing when VLC is launched by double-clicking on an associated file?

Hello rezidu,
As explained on this siteThe default associations in the registry need to be modified.
For example:

For example:
The tis-7zip package also contains other examples.reg add HKCR\VLC.mp3\shell\Open\command\ /d \""C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe\" --no-qt-privacy-ask --no-qt-updates-notif --started-from-file \"%%1\"" /f
